Office / Personal Assistant Traineeship

Our Plumbing and Building company has grown to the point we are now offering a an Office / Personal Assistant Traineeship to work directly with the Administration Team based in the Mount Barker area. 

Although the primary role will be in Administration, this position will be working closely with our Director and Schedulers, and your can-do attitude will lend itself well to pitching in as part of a small administrative team as the office gets busy. 

We also see that there will be an involvement in Scheduling Plumbers, assisting the Director in the preparation of quotations, the development and management of safety systems to ensure that we meet our required standards, and the processing and sending invoices to our clients.

To fill the role, we are looking for someone with some book-keeping or analytical skills, excellent computer skills and the confidence to assist by picking up the phone in a professional, cheery manner as a first point-of-contact for our many long-term clients. This will eventually lead to backing up one of our two schedulers at times of their absence.

The administration work is handled primarily within our cloud-based job management software Aroflo, then integrated into Xero for creditor and debtor management. All other work is via Microsoft 365 applications. Prior experience with Xero and Microsoft systems would be an advantage.

While being a team member, you will need to be able to work autonomously without being distracted by the dynamic environment of the office.

Personality is a key factor for this position as we are a small team, and the office is an open plan environment. We would welcome someone who can expand their thinking to follow what goes on in a medium-sized business and, if you have suggestions for improvement in our work systems, we are active listeners. 

We see this position being full time with normal hours being 9:00am to 5:00pm.

Remuneration will be negotiated based on skill presented by the applicant, and the position is open for immediate start.
